Seat Adjustment
{Warning
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a driver seat while the
vehicle is moving. Adjust the driver seat
only when the vehicle is not moving.
To adjust the seat:1. Pull the handle at the front of the seat.
2. Slide the seat to the desired position and release the handle.
3. Try to move the seat back and forth to be sure the seat is locked in place.
Power Seat Adjustment
{Warning
The power seats will work with the
ignition off. Children could operate the
power seats and be injured. Never leave
children alone in the vehicle.
To adjust a power driver seat, if equipped:
.Move the seat forward or rearward by
sliding the control forward or rearward.
.Raise or lower the entire seat by moving
the rear of the control up or down.
.If equipped, raise or lower the front part
of the seat cushion by moving the front
of the control up or down. To adjust the seatback, see
Reclining
Seatbacks 023.
Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the seat belts
cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear
the seat belt properly.

vehicle is moving.
{Warning
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a driver seat while the
vehicle is moving. Adjust the driver seat
only when the vehicle is not moving.
{Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it could

That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on
the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.
To recline the seatback:1. Lift the lever.
2. Move the seatback to the desired position, and then release the lever to
lock the seatback in place.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull up onthe shoulder belt.
To unlatch the belt, push the button on the
buckle. The belt should return to its stowed
position.
Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the seat
belt webbing returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may lock and cannot
be pulled out. If this happens, pull the seat
belt straight out firmly to unlock the
webbing, and then release it. If the webbing
is still locked in the retractor, see your
dealer.
Before a door is closed, be sure the seat belt
is out of the way. If a door is slammed
against a seat belt, damage can occur to
both the seat belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of
the belt is on the shoulder and not falling
off of it. The belt should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper shoulder belt
height adjustment could reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in a crash. See
How to Wear Seat Belts Properly 028.
Push up on the release button and move
the height adjuster to the desired position.
After the adjuster is set to the desired
position, try to move it down without
pushing the release button to make sure it
has locked into position.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
the front outboard occupants. Although the
seat belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the seat belt assembly. They can
help tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner activation are

extension in an extended cab model.
Never install a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the right
rear seating position without the seat
cushion extension.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride in the front
passenger seat when a rear-facing child
restraint is installed in the right rear
seating position. To properly fit the
rear-facing child restraint, the front
seatback will need to be tilted forward
which will not allow a passenger to sit
properly in the front outboard passenger
seat. The passenger could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
crash.

near the top of the seatback and directly
behind the seating position in which the(Continued)

instructions below for how to properly
attach a top tether.
Extended Cab Rear Seat Cushion Extension
The vehicle is equipped with a headrest that
is used as a seat cushion extension for
installation of child restraints in the right
rear seat.
{Warning
The right rear seat cushion extension is
designed to support the weight of a child
in a child restraint or booster seat. It is
neither designed nor intended to support
the weight of an adult. Use the seat
cushion extension only when a child
restraint or booster seat is installed in
the right rear seating position.
When installing a rear-facing child restraint
in the right rear seating position, move the
front seat all the way forward and tilt the
seatback forward to properly install the child restraint. See
Power Seat Adjustment 023,
Seat Adjustment 023, and Reclining
Seatbacks 023. When a rear-facing child
restraint is installed properly, the front
passenger seat cannot be used.
1. Always install the seat cushion extension in the right rear seating position when
installing a forward-facing or rear-facing
child restraint. Also use the seat cushion
extension for booster seats that extend
past the front edge of the seat cushion.
2. Press the button for the passenger sideheadrest at the top of the seatback and
pull up.

4. Put the child restraint on the seat. When installing a rear-facing child
restraint, move the front seat all the
way forward and tilt the seatback
forward to properly install the child
restraint per the child restraint
manufacturer instructions. See Seat
